I like the front of the original concept better, and other small details

Yes, I agree. Congratulations Chrysler, one of your weenie execs took a look at the styling and said "Gosh that's awfully masculine looking, we'd better make it look more like the new Mustang!"

Well, I did want one anyway.

The way I feel is this, .... They made the new Charger...(Blows), has no appeal like the original, Like the New GTO they decided to base it on the 70-72 GTO, but we all know that the real GTO ( at least to me ) is the 65-69, specially the 69, Can someone out there have BIG balls and make one of the most talk about hemis....The 1971 HEMI CUDA CONVERTIBLE (my humble opinion), take the exact shell and put NEW GUTS in it.....man, I will buy one!!!...Anyway what do you guys think should be the next recreation.....Since Pontiac is bringing back the NEW bandit, I've seen pictures of it and it looks very close like the original, hope they stay to plan... :beer:

Well this is tons better then the charger they released (joke) I mean I kinda liked the styling on the charger but name me 1 yr back in the '60's or 70's that the charger was a four door.

If they would have made this new challenger a four door I would have to kill them all.
